The man’s facial features were a little blurry, but his eyes shone with divine light. Seeing Chen Rui’ who suddenly appeared in front of him, he didn’t show any emotion; he was still as calm as water.
As Chen Rui waved, Shea stood up from the throne, bowed and retreated.
Chen Rui and Shea had obviously colluded in this scene for a long time. The more estranged and exploited the relationship, the safer Shea would be.
Chen Rui’s eyes were always on Satan. The eyes of the 2 were facing each other in the air. The space of the palace hall seemed to have solidified like iron and stone.
Chen Rui suddenly smiled, and the whole feeling of ‘iron and stone’ disappeared. He raised his hand and said, “Please sit down.”
The man didn’t sit down. He just looked at him lightly with a hint of indifference in his gaze.
Chen Rui was no longer polite and sat down by himself, “I didn’t expect Sir Satan to come in person. It’s a great honor.”
It turned out that it was Satan himself who appeared in front of Shea!
It was impossible to say that Chen Rui was not nervous at all. Unlike Michael and Raphael, he was in contact with Satan before Sariel. Since he first entered the Mountain Seckred, that unmatched and powerful man had left a deep impression on him. The powerhouse Old Dragon Emperor Father-in-law Auglas who appeared later also said that Satan was the strongest Pseudo-God, and he was far from being an opponent. After entering the Kingdom Level and possessing the [Pole Star Transformation] that rivaled Demi-God, Chen Rui felt the power of Satan and Sariel more and more. He also witnessed the duel between the 2 Pseudo-Gods. Now, he finally had to face this terrifying enemy alone.
Nervousness did not mean fear, but rather a fighting spirit.
He finally could look directly at the enemy whom he once needed to look up upon.
Chen Rui’s mind was uneasy, but his gaze became more and more steady. Similar to the powerful enemy on the opposite side, he seemed calm.
To be precise, the Satan in front of him was an avatar.
The importance of the Dark Divinity Temple to Satan was self-evident. This time, he chose to come in person. It must be to figure out the reality of the ‘mysterious powerhouse’. The reason he activated the avatar was also to be cautious.
Chen Rui also did not use his original body but a projection. This projection had the power of the [Pole Star Transformation]. Even if Satan’s avatar had mysterious power, it should not be difficult to defeat his avatar under normal conditions, but that would mean entirely going against against Satan. He didn’t have the strength to fight head-on with the opponent now.
The reason why it was said ‘normal condition’ was because Satan was a veteran peak stage of the Pseudo-God after all. Even if he was just an avatar, he might have the ultimate life-saving move. What’s more, Chen Rui once witnessed the avatar battle between Sariel and Satan. Both sides activated the secret technique and projected their original bodies onto the 2 avatars. Once Satan’s original body came, Chen Rui could only escape.
Whether it was the original body descending or killing the avatar, it was the worst result.
Chen Rui’s current title for him was to put the opponent on the same level.
“I don’t remember having an old friend like you.” Satan spoke up indifferently, “Perhaps the word ‘friend’ is not even worthy of it.”
“There are no permanent enemies nor permanent friends.” Chen Rui calmly said, “When the interests are higher than the contradictions, even for people like Michael might choose to cooperate with what they call ‘The Fallen One’.”
Chen Rui once heard the 3 words ‘The Fallen One’ when Michael and Python confronted each other. Satan raised his brows slightly, “You know more than I thought, but it is not enough to stand on an equal footing in front of me.”
“So what you said is strength.” Chen Rui smiled slightly, “Does Sir Satan want to test it?”
“Hmph!” Satan gave him a contemptuous look, “If you’re the only one behind the whole thing, then I advise you not to bluff. Surrender or annihilate; you choose.”
“I want to explain 2 things.” Chen Rui shook his head lightly in disapproval, “First, I’m the one behind the scenes indeed, but I’m not the only one. Second, you don’t have the ability to annihilate or make me surrender.”
Although the tone was flat, the words were already clearly rejecting the options. Satan squinted, and the great hall protected by ancient runes trembled slightly, “This great hall is just an ancient rune formation set up by Demi-God. If you want to project your real body, this place will surely collapse. Perhaps we can change to another place?”
When Satan heard the words ‘project real body’, his eyes flashed as he sneered, “I don’t need the real body to deal with you.”
“Too overbearing is not an advantage.” Chen Rui still maintained a calm smile, “Everyone’s strength or might is different, but in terms of avatar, honestly you are not an opponent.”
“Really?” Satan stretched out his hand slowly. Chen Rui sensed a strong fluctuation, and the hand grabbed his neck instantly. This was not pure speed but law power.
Satan frowned suddenly. He actually returned to the initial place with his hand still stretched out. The opponent’s neck was not in his grasp as if it was just an illusion.
Satan was very clear that it was not an illusion just now. He immediately felt the mystery of this law, and his gaze suddenly became solemn, “Time?”
Satan activated time law just now, which made the flow of time abruptly speed up so that the opponent could not resist it. However, an opposite time power was emitted from that person, and the flow of time slowed down again. The law powers canceled each other out, so there was the scene before.
‘Time’ had always been one of his greatest mysteries. He never imagined that this person would have the same law!
“You’re not the only one who has the law or might of time.”
The calm voice of the other party made Satan’s mind be full of murderous intentions as he ghastly said, “I underestimated you, but your time law is not worth mentioning in front of me. As you say, I’m not the only one who has the power of time, but after today, I will be the only one.”
“You can try.” Chen Rui’s mind became more and more calm. “The power of time is just one of my powers. As far as I know, time is not your only mystery. Maybe I can witness the power of [Collapse Extermination], [Rip] or [Blasphemy]?”
Satan secretly surprised when he heard that this person seemed to know his details. He shouted, “[Collapse Extermination]!”
The space suddenly had violent distortions before it actually cracked apart. The entire palace hall, which was protected by ancient runes, was turned into powder under this terrifying destructive power. However, the strange thing was that the outer frame was still intact as if It was an independent space. It actually remained motionless under such a terrifying destruction.
Satan noticed this and squinted, but his attention quickly shifted on the man across from him. The power of [Collapse Extermination] struck firmly on him, but his body suddenly became transparent. The power of [Collapse Extermination] was reflected back to Satan like a light reflected from the mirror!
This sudden twist of events caused Satan’s pupils to contract. His eyes burst into lights. The power of [Collapse Extermination] suddenly slowed down. He was about to try to dispel his attack, but he suddenly felt the flow of time was different. His pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
This kind of change was fleeting, and there was no follow-up. The power of [Collapse Extermination] had already rolled back overwhelmingly. Without thinking about it, Satan shouted, “[Blasphemy]!”
When this word was uttered, Satan was already enveloped by his [Collapse Extermination], but a special force filled the air first. The power of [Collapse Extermination] that destroyed everything was disintegrated like gravels.
Chen Rui didn’t take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, he just stood in front of Satan calmly. Satan looked at him coldly, but he didn’t speak.
However, Chen Rui knew that Satan had doubts in his mind. At that moment, Chen Rui, the enemy, could have activated the time law to offset Satan’s time law, so that he could not calmly resolve the [Collapse Extermination] that was reflected, but the opponent did not.
“The kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Both you or I are not foolish to be able to live to this day.” Chen Rui said lightly, “I just feel that we have not reached the level of determining life and death for the time being.”
Satan sneered, “You said ‘determining life and death’?”
“As I said just now, everyone’s abilities are different. If we talk about avatar alone, my abilities are quite special. It’s not difficult to kill you.” As soon as the words ended, a purple light filled the entire hall as bright as the stars, and a powerful force radiated out.
Satan was startled. This level of momentum and power has clearly surpassed the scope of Demi-God!
Is it a real projection?
No, there seems to be no sign of that kind of life transmission!
Generally speaking, the projection is a level lower than the original body. Even the powerhouse of the peak stage Pseudo-God can only project the peak stage of the Demi-God avatar. This enemy’s avatar can actually reach Pseudo-God!
Even if it is only a very elementary Pseudo-God, it is a Pseudo-God. It is definitely not an enemy that Demi-God can resist.
In the purple brilliance, a pair of star-like eyes looked at Satan’s, “I don’t like exaggeration. I said that everyone’s abilities are different. My avatar talent is just a bit special.”
“I seem to have seen the armor and strength of this attribute somewhere.” Satan’s eyes were fixed on the bright armor. “Who are you?!”
“Only the most loyal believers will have the Armed Bestowment that I have given.” Chen Rui’s voice was still indifferent. “As for me, am I not Sir Satan’s ‘old friend,’?”
“Hmph! Old friend?” Satan sneered, “You’ve been controlling the Demon Realm’s empires behind the scenes? What’s your purpose?”
“My purpose may be the same as yours, except that faith power may not be the real shortcut to that road. Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel have used the Book of Creation to fool the human believers for so long without success.
“How do you know that they didn’t make it?”
“Not long ago, I went to the Holy Light Mountain and received a ‘special treatment’ from Michael and Raphael. Unfortunately, Gabriel was not there.” Chen Rui shook his head, “Michael’s strength may be slightly better than yours. However, if it’s a life-and-death confrontation, it’s hard to say who wins and who loses, but one thing is certain, he’s not a God yet. “
A different expression flashed past Satan’s eyes, “You even fought against Michael and Raphael?”
“I just wanted to see the Book of Creation, but I didn’t want to get entangled with them in places like the Holy Light Mountain, so I had to run away. Fortunately, I didn’t go in vain.” With that said, there was a faint light in Chen Rui’s hand.
“Creation power!” Satan felt the change in his sense of destructive breath. He said in shock, “No, it should be origin law power!”
